Tips and information about Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle ADF

Monday Jul 22, 2013

I blogged before about the support for tablet and touch device rendering with ADF Faces. Release 12c brings together features that were introduced in previous patches (such as 11.1.1.7) into a single line of code and even adds more features in this area.

To show you what ADF Faces does automatically for you, I re-recorded the interaction with the houses demo that I showed here, but this time on an iPad.

It's a single application that runs on both the regular and mobile browser.

The only thing I needed to do is use an EL for two properties (maximize and dimensionsFrom) on the top containers in the page that will switch the whole page to do flow layout on touch devices. You would usually use this in your page template for the application.

The new JDeveloper 12c comes with some pretty cool ADF Faces components that can make your applications (or demos) look even better.

For the session I did at the Kscope13 conference I built a small application that showed off some of these components, and now the JDeveloper 12c is available for all to see, I thought I'll share a short video of the application.

It highlights the runtime behavior of the new components and shows you the basic code structure for each.
